2K Kangaroo Green Pill Male Enhancements Double Pack

What this is

2K Kangaroo Green is a men's herbal dietary supplement supplied as a double pack: two green oblong tablets, each sealed in its own blister dome on a single black hang-tab card. One tablet is one serving, and the card carries two servings. Each serving supplies a 1,000 mg proprietary herbal blend. The card is distributed by 2K Co.

Everything under the heading “Supplement Facts” below is transcribed from the panel printed on the reverse of that card, not from a supplier sheet. This is a tablet rather than a capsule, and a single-serving format rather than a bottle you work through over weeks — the same 2K brand appears in other Kangaroo-branded packs in a range of counts and colourways.

What is in the blend

The panel declares one line item: a proprietary blend totalling 1,000 mg per tablet, followed by ten ingredient entries in no stated order of quantity. No individual milligram amount is printed for any of them, so nothing on this page can tell you how the 1,000 mg divides up. Two pairs of those ten entries appear to name one botanical across two lines, which would put the real number of distinct materials closer to eight than ten. Here is what each entry refers to.

• L-Lysine — an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot make it and takes it from food. It occurs in meat, eggs, beans and dairy, and is sold on its own as a powder in general nutrition ranges.
• Ginseng Extract — a root long used in Chinese and Korean herbal practice and one of the most widely sold botanicals in the world. The panel does not name the species, so whether this is Asian ginseng or another type is not stated; the NCCIH page on Asian ginseng gives general background on the plant.
• Ginko Biloba and Leaf Extract — printed as two separate entries, though in supplement labelling those words almost always name one material: an extract of the leaf of Ginkgo biloba, a tree cultivated for centuries. The panel spells it “Ginko”. The NCCIH page on ginkgo covers the plant in general terms.
• L-Arginine — another amino acid, found in nuts, seeds, fish and poultry, and a common component of sports and men's wellness formulas.
• Green Tea — leaves of Camellia sinensis, dried without the oxidation step that produces black tea, and a familiar source of dietary polyphenols. Background is available from NCCIH's green tea page. Green tea naturally contains caffeine; the panel does not state how much, if any, ends up in the tablet.
• Chinese Aweto — a trade name for Cordyceps sinensis, a fungus that grows in the high-altitude grasslands of the Tibetan plateau and a long-standing item in Chinese herbal preparations.
• Tian Shan Xue Lian and Snow Lotus Flower — the second pair that appears to name one plant twice. “Tian Shan Xue Lian” is the Mandarin name for the snow lotus, Saussurea involucrata, a flowering plant of the Tian Shan mountain range in Central Asia. Both entries are printed on the card, so both are listed here as printed.
• Icariin — a compound isolated from plants in the Epimedium genus, a group of flowering perennials used in traditional Chinese herbalism. It appears here as a named compound rather than as a whole-plant extract.

For a general primer on how botanical supplements are formulated, regulated and labelled in the United States, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes a consumer fact sheet on botanical dietary supplements.

Supplement Facts

How to take it

The card's directions are: take one tablet, or as directed, 20 minutes before sexual activity, and drink at least 16 ounces of water with it. The card then sets a firm ceiling of no more than one tablet in any 48-hour period. That is the manufacturer's own limit and it is the most important line on the panel — two tablets on a card does not mean two tablets in a day.

The storage instruction is simply to store in a cool, dry place. Keep the tablets sealed in their blisters until you take one; each dome is separately sealed, so opening one does not expose the other.

Who it is for

The card marks the product for adults 18 and over, and states that it is not for minors and is to be sold to adults only. The directions are written for men. A two-tablet card suits someone trying this blend for the first time, or keeping one on hand for a particular occasion, rather than anyone looking to take a supplement daily — the 48-hour spacing rule rules that out in any case. If you want more than two servings, the wider men's supplement range includes bottles and multi-count packs.

Good to know

The precautions printed on the card are specific, and worth reading before you order rather than after:

• Do not take this product if you have consumed any other medication in the previous 12 hours.
• Do not use it if you have a serious medical condition, or if you use prescription medication — particularly anything containing nitrates.
• Do not use it if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure.
• Discontinue use if you notice any shortness of breath or heart irregularity.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Herbal blends can interact with prescription medicines, and a proprietary blend that withholds per-ingredient amounts makes that harder for a pharmacist to assess. NCCIH's overview of dietary and herbal supplement safety is a reasonable starting point if you take anything regularly. No California Proposition 65 warning is printed on this card, so none is reproduced here.

Shipping and packaging

Orders ship in plain outer packaging with no product names or branding on the outside. Product photographs are illustrative. Packaging, lot codes and printed dates vary between shipments.

Frequently asked questions

How many tablets come on the card?

Two. The card holds two green oblong tablets, each sealed in its own separate blister dome, and the panel confirms two servings per package at one tablet per serving.

What does the 1,000 mg figure actually cover?

The 1,000 mg is the combined weight of the whole proprietary blend in one tablet, not the amount of any single ingredient. The panel lists ten ingredient entries but prints no individual amounts and no percent daily values, so how the total divides between them is not disclosed on the packaging.

How far apart should the two tablets be taken?

At least 48 hours. The card states that no more than one tablet should be taken within any 48-hour period. That is a limit rather than a suggestion, and it applies however many tablets are in front of you.

Does the card say what the tablet is made from besides the herbs?

No. There is no “Other Ingredients” line on the panel, which means excipients such as binders, fillers, tablet coating and colouring are undeclared. Anyone avoiding a specific allergen should read the absence of that line as missing information and check with 2K Co. rather than assume.

Is this suitable for women?

The directions on the card are written for men and the product is positioned that way by the distributor. Women looking for a supplement should choose a formula labelled for them rather than adapt this one.
